Installing GitHub CI 5.0 on openSUSE 12.3

Although this GNU/Linux distro is not supported, were are already running GitLab on an openSUSE server, so let's see if we can set up a GitLab CI (Continuous Integration) server on openSUSE, too. These notes are basically a translation of http://doc.gitlab.com/ci/install/installation.html to SuSE. See also other unofficial GitLab installation guides: https://github.com/gitlabhq/gitlab-public-wiki/wiki/Unofficial-Installation-Guides

1. Packages / Dependencies

Installing the prerequisites is already a hassle, but I was able to map most of the Debian package names to SuSE's naming scheme using distromatch. So here we go:

sudo ln -s /usr/bin/vi /usr/local/bin/editor  ## give your favourite text editor a standard name
